A long time ago, I read an article about some city slickers turned rural farmers who were overwhelmed with all the manure their animals were pumping out. A suburban friend came to visit them in her Mercedes, and saw the large piles and asked if she could take some for her town garden. When farm girl gladly said, "Take all you want!" her friend proceeded to greedily shovel the poo into the trunk of her Mercedes cackling, "It's like gold, gold I tell you!" Lol, I love that story!
Girl you were prophesying to us for such a time as this 2022. Please consider really pointing new subscribers to these videos. I rewatch them often and they're so helpful. They've helped me a lot over the years. Love ya, keep being you. You're awesome.
2024 as well!
She's so aggressively kind and intelligent.
your common sense approach and plain speak is so refreshing in this day and age. and you're funny! thank you.
Excellent video and love love the garden!! I am always so thrilled to see people GET this BTE method and then reap the benefits....The wonderful and exciting bonus for you is..in 5, 6, plus years your garden will still be producing and creating a rich organic sustainable soil that will provide strong healthy plants...year after year after year!
I was just filming YEt another update because I Swear within a week the garden grew another 4 feet!! And while I was walking and talking reminded people who are new..USe the compost..TAKE the manure...it is all good and it all aides in adding to that soil!!
We have people every now and then believe all they need to do is throw out some wood chips...and poof! so good call with explaining that....I also love it that your down south..a completely different climate then up here where technically WE have a shorter growing season and lots of weather extremes from the mountains!. so to compare our gardens w ith the same method is really COOL!!!
Great job and the garden is looking lovely.!!!!!:)) Oh and Mr H loves the finger snapping!!! snap snap..pretty soon I can see him doing that...hahaha...
Oh, you're gonna be canning like mad very soon! Thank you for all you do and the great input! xo
P.S. You tell Mr. H I'd pay cash to see him do the "snap snap" with his fingers. Haha! xoxoxo
Tell me, Starry, Patara, is it actually true that you do not have to water the BTE gardening method?
Dogwood Hollow Homestead I'm not either of them but I can attest that outside of the initial watering you'll want to give seedlings and transplants, we didn't water one time and East TN where I'm from had a harsh drought. Didn't bother my garden one bit!
Nice!
Can we use pine and spruce needles? We have lots of those but not many leaves
While it's great to think and plan ahead sometimes, how can you ever really enjoy this moment if you're off in some distant future all the time? Just keep it simple guys. Throw out wood chips, build compost piles, and let nature do it's thing so you have very nice soil to plant into when the time comes. If you have to, buy it in the beginning and build off that each year as you make more of your own. Yes, it takes time but remember to enjoy this moment and don't stress out over next year's garden plans. Plants don't do that, they simply exist, and they grow just fine. You too should be like a plant. Patient, and you will grow with what you are given. :)
You have to.think ahead. When shtf hit the fan you gonna wish you did
I was telling my husband how you were already digging potatoes and with your hands! He is now watching you with me. Keep them coming.
😄👍❤️
I am still doing baby steps. Although I told my teen son that maybe next year we will get some rabbits. Depends on how we do with the chickens. I know I have to do things kind of slow or I will overwhelm myself and everything will totally fail. This year is my chickens and a smallish garden. And today I got my first produce from it, one hot Hungarian pepper and two super chili peppers. I was so happy.
We love Starry!!!! Im in my first year with really succeeding with my back to eden garden. My husband just cant believed how awesome its doing. Its people like you that have really educated us and I cant thank you enough! We are in Missouri and the weather here is amazing for gardens! Our green house is even jamming this year!! God bless you!
Thanks for this video. This is the perfect video to show my husband so that he can see the continuity of gardening and the importance of building the soil.
Love your honesty and enthusiasm!
I love Starry too! Thank you for making your shake it up videos! It's too easy to get stuck in dreamland. It's exciting to dream but it has to become a plan to reach reality. Thank you for your awesome videos!
Love your Homestead and U tubes, Susan and I discovered your channel thru Starry Hilder and her Homestead. We have learned a lot about life and gardening thru both channels. Thanks and God Bless. Paul & Susan North Georgia
Starry Hilder has one of the best channels !!! I love both of your all's channels!
I am very impressed that the soil is so moist! We are also in East TN and I am watering almost daily. I am going to have to seriously consider Back to Eden!
We went up to the Cumberland Gap last week and we could not believe how much greener it was up there. We are dry as a bone here. There is a big difference in my b2e garden and the BIG one. That soil build up and solid mulch makes such a tremendous difference! Y'all stay cool! Thanks for watching! xoxo
Some great advice here, thank you very much.
Amen! We have 3 tons of tree chopping in our yard ( thank you tree service) Love starry! Hugs~ Lea
So glad to have come across you. Love, love, love all the homesteaders. Thank y'all for a wealth of info as I am starting a homestead and doing as much research as possible and find a starting point.
You are totally correct on today's Homestead lesson !!!
I am so thankful for you and Starry and that you both are part of my life via vlogs.

Just found your channel. Ive been looking at vids for months and you are the first that has came out and told how it is. gonna be watching your other asap
I know I am late with my response, but here it goes! Love the video and especially love your lifestyle. Starry is great and to be honest, I watch both of your videos. I get wonderful ideas from you and Starry. I live in the suburbs and am starting where I can....my back yard. I am learning so much and have you to thank. We just tilled up our 20 x 20 spot ( not more than I can chew) and cannot wait until spring. I have canned my whole adult life and before my divorce I had a huge garden. I was broken hearted that I could not can this year. Farmers market prices in my area were higher than the grocery store. I have been finishing up on my prior canned goods and will be starting fresh next spring. Please keep the videos coming and I will be sure to watch!
Truth! I love both of your channels, you both have great information and both so positive. Thank you for putting your videos out. We are all a testimony in the making.
I am hitting chickens in a few weeks and am researching gardening and I LOVE your no sugar coating. Please never change!!
Apparently my iPhone wants me to abuse my chickens. 😳 getting**
Lol! Just part of understanding the English language. Lol! 🤣🌼
Thank you for keeping it real. I love, love, love Starry! She is the one that got me interested in homesteading. I was just looking for a better way to garden when I stumbled across her channel. Then from her, I learned about your channel. I have learned so much from both of you. Thanks to both of you, I now have a BTE garden and chickens (in the city) and am now looking for 10+ acres in the country so I can really start to homestead. My husband has helped me a lot with all of my homesteading projects. However, he said he is going to block homesteading channels from my TH-cam, because I keep getting too many ideas, which means more work for him.....hehehehehe :)
I'm a new subscriber, I'm watch all your videos. You are a realist and so fun to watch. (Bare with me this a bit long) we've talk to a few friends about what we want to do, a small farm, I already do a lot of things from scratch (in the city and eat clean). One friend is a great Gardner he's going to help us built our garden, another friend is the construction business and he's going building a coop for us. So you said learn a skill while in city and my goal is to learn how to sew and canning while we live in the city. So for canning I went and bough all the stuff for canning, should I use a pressure canned cooker or a regular canning pot. My husband will not quit his job, but I'm a stay at home mom, all I want is chicken to have eggs for us, a garden for our food, And learn how to hem for us. I can Bake some pretty awesome cakes already and make greeting cards I sell from time to time. I've been doing hydroponic indoor gardening and I've produce basil for pesto and use cilantro a lot. We want to buy a small farm in Kentucky but not too far from the city because I don't want to overwhelm myself, farms I've look are about 20-30 miles away from the city. Any tips for me? Oh yeah I'm slowly buying and preparing for our Farm, buying books, looking at lot of TH-cam video and even bought some stuff for soap making(this will happen way down the road once I can master canning and sewing)
Love your garden. Thanks for the video.
I wasn't sure how long it would take. I was under the impression that I was just going to have to get some woodchips and leave it for about a month.
Thank you for enlightening me. I don't actually has garden space here in the UK. I was going to hire an allotment space and start the garden there.
Absolutely have been following your channel for awhile and next spring my garden will be in its 3rd year and I’m excited to be more structured
THANK YOU
YES!!! People think I'm crazy when I start planning my garden for the following year when this year's harvest hasn't happened yet!
I love your energy, and your accent!
I live in the Virginia mountains, and it's a lovely place--not only in nature, but also in culture.
Thank you!!
I agree with you! I used raised beds AND tilled just to get my family's seeds in the ground so we had food. Great video hun. I love Starry as well.
Back to Eden is the only way to go. Everything is so dry here in GA now. Love your channel and Starry she is awesome!
I love the way you teach sharing your experiences and truths
I live in Phoenix and am from Tennessee/Mississippi. I've been farming/gardening all my life, but Arizona farming/gardening is a whole nother thing! I am almost 1 year into the Back to Eden Gardening. We ( my husband Dr. B and I) have two 1/3 acres ( one is where the house is). Thus far, the Back to Eden technique is working well. I don't have a lot of muscle so its been a while for me to get the woodchips spread, but I am so happy I switched. PS I love Starry Hildre too! Ya'll my girls!
The idea of the fact that your garden will produce the amount of food it can, s worth your discovering source for resources,
you are such an inspiration, thanks for sharing all your knowledge and keeping it real! God bless you.
Good video,I also prepare my beds at least the fall before planting, it is so much easier this way. I feel bad sometimes that I have to purchase bulk items (compost, manure) buy the dump truck load but feel it is an investment in our place. Starry always says to invest in yourselves, how true. Thank you for the video...
Definitely learned the lesson you're discussing around 1:25 the hard way this year! It's my first vegetable garden and when I started I realized I actually needed to start at least 2 months ago. So I started planning next year's garden before I even planted this one.
Awesome video!!! My wife and I love watching Starry and I am very happy that she did a shout out to your site. We are in the process of gardening with the BTE method. We built a chicken coup this last spring and are now building the gardens up for next spring. Cant wait to see what God has in store for us next year.
Beautiful Back to Eden Garden You Have....Been subscribed to Starry Hilder for ages...Blessings!
Absolutely awesome garden advice. Very informative guidelines. Thank you for sharing. Back Eden Garden is fantastic. As well as Starry's channel.
Wow, your garden is exploding with tomatoes!!! I love seeing all the compost and layering! I also love your straight forward approach to real changes and the hard work it takes. Keep doing great things Patara!!!
Gary and i continue to work on our BTE garden.... hope ours can look like yours soon... and we enjoy Starry's video also..you gals just are teaching this old gal lots of things...
Love Starry and love you! Very encouraging & helpful video. Thank you!!
She is too legit to quit! Thank you so much for watching! xoxo
Hahah love you to....its great to see people watching both of us from two different parts of the country..it makes the universe smaller!!!
We need a whole lot more of that these days! xoxo
and thank you for your time
Yeah I always put the straw or pine shavings from my chicken coop cleanup into the area I will be using for my garden the following year. Does great. Any leftover material goes into the compost pile. Also, a great way to start a garden area for next year... get a tarp and stake it to the ground for three days. Kills all the grass. Then cover it with card board or newspaper when you remove the tarp. Next throw the chicken coop cleanout material on top. By next year you will have a great start to a new garden bed.
Hi Patara!! I love the BTE gardening! Your Garden is Gorgeous! Thanks for your "No Nonsense Reality Checks" you give us. It is important to understand the hard work and commitment that goes into Homesteading and all that it involves. BTW,,,I love your T-Shirt!!
Patara. You amaze me. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and encouragement with us.
I have a question for you!
What do you use for mosquito repellant? They are so so thick here this year. Horrible. It's like a zombie apocalypse.
I loveyou your videos, I learned of your videos from Starry,,,I am also in Tennessee, (middle Tennessee) I also am gardening BTE, gardening, combined with permaculture gardening...thanks for sharing your experiences
Love Starry and you, Patara, great video and good info. Our BTE garden is going crazy too, what a blessing!
Oh so true on every thing you said about the gardening... I to am subbed to Starry & Now I subbed you.. This year I talked to the kids about putting a garden in. They think we just put plants & seeds in & that is it.. Well now Mom has a how nether story to show them. This is how we garden when I was growing up.. So this year we will get it tilled then start building it up. Just like you say... It isn't easy if it is it isn't life. lol... Well sweetie I will let ya go.. Your garden is beautiful. Happy Gardening...
Love my back to Eden garden. Fourth year, third year with chickens. Every year something different. Adding a new garden this spring.
Love Starry, too! She is a hoot! Fun and informative to watch. You both are. She is definitely one of the most interesting homesteaders I watch on here though. In a good way.
I am so doing this!! Next summer I'll be prepared!! Thank you Patara!!
I'm gettin all over this now. Thanks Patara! -Lee Ann
Love what you do. Thank you for sharing you knowledge
VERY Rich Information. Thank you for sharing, I found you from Starry Hilder's Channel. I can't wait to use these methods!!
You go girl....tell it like it is.. LOVE YOU GUYS
Love your channel and Starry's! We're beginning some BTE gardening, too and it's working GREAT! We planted our potatoes BTE style and they are beautiful.
Patara loved the video. I am wanting to start a BTE garden. Just recently moved and have room for the garden now. I was waiting to get settled first since we are still in boxes. But after watching your video. I went out and toss my veggie peelings into the spot where I intend to put that garden. LOL. Your inspiring and yes I love Starry too!
I've been collecting for two seasons to start a back to Eden garden , next year it's on ! I've collected everything for free or trade so nothing cost me anything but a helping hand (which I will always offer).
Love Starry's and your videos! It is a toss up as to where we want to move ID or TN. We want to move in a couple of years and we are gathering our info to be prepared when we get to wherever we land.
This is my first time seeing your videos. I just love your style and those tomatoes. I'm going to watch more and have now subscribed.
I have a question. Do you ever go on vacation? I ask this because you seem so busy with your garden, not that's a bad thing. I found your channel yesterday and i really like it and you seem like a sweet and honest person.
Starry in Idaho, Appalachia in Tn.. and I'm in Central Texas.. huge demographics, love both your channels.. Hopefully next yr I can get a full garden in. Right now all I have is my 2 cherry tomatoes in a container.. lol
Hey Patara! This is an awesome video, thanks so much! I have a couple of questions, 1) You said you built the ground 2ft, would you put would panels around the entire garden area or dig two feet in and refill it? 2) So after the 9 month period would you jump strait into planting? 3) Is it ok if I let my chickens into the garden while it's the 9 month period and when the plants are in? 4) How much space do you give to your garden?
Thanks so much for your help Patara! Your videos are the best, and I love that you include God and you include basic truths. Keep up the good work and I wish you the best of luck this winter!
Nice update. I found your tips helpful. Thanks for sharing.
You seem very passionate.
Thanks so much for sharing your wisdom. And, yes, love me some Starry!
Cindy in GA Hoping to come to the conference in May. :D
Superb video. Intense even with a zealous fervor to get moving! Congratulations on your gardens... Subscribed!
Learning skills, building homestead, none of this happens overnight...
thumbs up! thumbs up forever and ever!
Great info! I started a level espalier trellis like those lovely ones you have in the backdrop. I'm just about to start raising quail, and zeeking to build the most symbiant habitat(s) for them. Lots of coyotes and predetors out here.
For non believers of the Back to Eden method you have to see for yourself. I put newspaper/cardboard with leaves/grass clippings and manure on my garden for years. Last year I let the one garden go fallow and for the first time I have worms!! The garden has done great this year. I am looking forward to the leave falling again! Try a small section at a time if the "whole" garden seems to overwhelming. Give it a try!
I love this! thank you
Of course there are people who simply don't care about the land, resources or the beauty in gardening so they will do everything to rush it and get poor results. If you want high quality food, HEALTHY food, put some real time and love into it. It shows in your plants health and the health benefits that you reap from it.
sense gardening for the first time in my life I know what my goal is and how to better grow. your right it is going to take sometime.
Thanks for sharing your garden. Follow Starry's channel too. She has a lot of canning to do.
I love starry too!!! Thank You for the push, it's always good to get a good kick in the pants😄...
Great info lady!!! Blessings..
Toodle🌸from the Stoop-Noodle Homestead....
You are awesome!! I will be following you.
Ah such truth! I love how you tell it like it is! :)
just love yoir channel and i have come here from Starrys channel too coz she is always plugging your channel !! :) i want to srestart doing my garden as its awful mess and i really want to be abel to have my own "private grocery " and not have to spemd so much money in the supermarket!!!
so cute.. full of life you are
love the garden. Envious here. Looks really great!
loved your video and Starry too. I'm doing bte in NC!!
I am in NC also! I started a garden this year but we are planning to do a BTE plot for next year. Any advice? Can we use all these pine needles we have? Either in place of the wood chips or in addition to? Any sites or channels that would be of particular help for a newbie?
Yes, pine needles break down pretty quick.I have seen a lot of people start their plots by putting down layers of organic matter and then put the wood chips on top. That way there is organic matter breaking down faster than the wood chips will....so you can plant right away. Have you seen this? They call it the lasagna method.
Thank you! Happy 4th of July.
Please tell me how you put the breaks on crabgrass! Last year I tried a small area in my garden, about 20 x 20, putting down cardboard then layers of organic matter, compost and wood chips. It didn't take the crabgrass more than two weeks to have the entire area tied in knots with runners. There has to be an organic, natural way to put an end to this nightmare!
AMEN... sweat tears, time, boo boos etc... and LOVE STARRY HILDER... she keeps it real also. love you both.
You would be good at being a drill sergeant, your conversation with the camera is so intense...
Matt, she can be mine anyrime. I learned more from her than some bimbo at the mall
Great video, I'd really like to see how you prune, cut back and trellis your tomatoes iv been told how to do it but I really need a visual because I really shopped the heck out of them. And I didnt know that my nippers need to be cleaned before doing it...ooops
Been doing this style for years, and you do it super well! Will you tell us the name of that other channel you were recommending again please? Thank you for the videos.
Starry Hilders Homestead 👍 You will love her!
LOVED THIS VIDEO! LOVED THE ENERGY! Honestly, you should call yourself The Appalachian Garden Life Coach! GO GO GO! YOU CAN DO IT! DON'T GIVE UP! And guess what? I am moving to TENNESSEE FROM NY! SUBSCRIBED! ❤️ And BTW... EAT THE WEEDS! Very, very, very healthy for you!
Your tomatoes are beautiful! Can you please do a video on tomato care?
Greetingz from Michigan! Love your videoz, i need all the advice and extra ideaz i can get; and then some in these timez that seem to be just like what is written in the good book, the "end" chapter...love your accent; you are so cute and i like the way you think. Never change! Your perfect just the way you are. Been doing lotsa prepping and when you mentioned the 8mm clear plastic, i digress to say i just bought a lot of it but i got the 10mm and got the gorilla clear duct tape so if thingz get bad i will out the plastic over all the windows and doors in case Putin does the unthinkable...the "n" word...i dont even want to say that word but this is the reason i got the clear plastic to keep radiation outside if by the Grace of God we survive it, plus got that flex steel stuff to fill in any place toxic air could get in that might have fallout in it. Stocking up on as much fire wood too just in case, for the next winter because if something happens and we couldnt use the furnace we can use the old wood stove we have down in the basement so we wont freeze; it gets so dang brutally cold here in the late fall and the whole winter and sometimes even in the spring time in BrRrRrRr City Michigan. Well take care and keep kicking out the new videos. May God walk with you during these difficult times and keep you and your family safe under His protective wings.

Hi Patara! I’m looking back at this video as I’m planning to use my cattle panel arch for beans this year as well as my cukes...I was hoping you had an idea of how far apart you spaced your bean plants? Thanks!
I live in C. FL. and found a boarding place for horses. They use wood shavings for mulch and ground cover and in the stalls. I ask if I could have manure/wood shavings from the stalls ..FREE... and I also found out where they order in wood chips by the truck load which I haven't the ability to get it by the truck load yet, but found at a local feed store I can buy huge big plastic bags of wood chicks, sawdust, or wood shavings for about $6. a bag. Not as cheap as the truck load, but still better than little bags. I just mention this as possible resources that some people may not think about.
ohh thank God--I found a local tree trim co for county parked and a filling station and asked those guys to dump what they had in my field--and wow--they took my address and I got a huge big pile of nice smelling pine mulch FREE!!!--so call your electric comp and ask them to sign you up.
awsome videos
Good call on Starry - she is so authentic :-) Patara, after the 9 months of baking the hay/straw/manure/wood chips, and you pulled back the black plastic, what did you have, soil (more or less) ready to plant?
Teeheee.I just saw the video..she did a great job and thanks on the compliment!!
Hey! I normally see you at your "home"! Glad to see that you two are supportive of one another. ;-)
Wonderful video. I'm intrigued by the Back To Eden style garden...I'm going to check out Starry's channel too thanks for the suggestion. Just a quick question, do you grow from seed?
Have you ever heard of the old book Down, down the Mountain? It's old, but I thought o8you. My mom's childhood favorite 😍
